The Overland Monthly for Oc- tober appears in good season, and with the air of prosperity about 1t that is more apparent each month. The frontispiece is delightfully."- clear reproduction of the entrance to Japanese temple at Nikko, illustrative of pleasant article on Japanese homes and temples. This is followed by some transla- tions of Japanese ghost myths, that are weird and eerie in the extreme, and yet strangely like some of the old German and other Aryan folk lore. In this line of folk lore also are Colonel Tassin's Indian ghost stories, told in con tinuing his interesting Chronicles of Camp Wright. The number is strong in fiction. The Acequia Madre of Santiago is concluded happily, much to the readers satisfaction, and the two Pueblo lovers are united by the fairy god mother-like action of the old miner. It is one of the most picturesque and delightful novelettes that has been published this year. In Chata and Chinita the convents are opened and Herlinda again appears in a most dramatic series of scenes. This story is to be fin isned next month. The short stories are The Demon of the Fine Hills, one of s. N. Sheridan, Jr.'s, powerful pictures of the conflict between Greaser and Gringo, and q Shadow of Gol3, an old-fashioh- ed gost story that will send the reader to bed with cold chills run ming up and down h1s spine. It will do all old Californians good to read Mir. W. A. Knapp's ac- count of his coming to California in '49, and hls impressions of San Francisco at that time. The Over land is doing yeoman's service to California in drawing out and pre- serving these authoritative data for history. General Howard tells in lively and picturesque Ian guage of the battle with the Flutes and Bannocks at Birch Creek. The poetry of the number is ex- cellent, and the reviews are, as usual, just, intelligent, and read able.

A gentleman in this city, who accepted drafts from J. A. Reavis on the Casa Grande Land and Improvement Company, to the amount of S395,75, is out and in jured, said drafts having been re- turned protested. How many others the grand Peralta fraud has imposed on. has yet to be determined as the victim seldom squeals when he finds himself guilty of misplaced confidence. This Casa Grande Land and I'm provement Company, of which Ed. Stokes is president, was repre- sented by the broken nosed Baron, to have in bank S5,000,000, which they proposed to pour into the lap of Arizona just as soon as the people living on their 100000 square miles of territory can be educated up to accepting it. Prob ably they were short of small change when the little S400 de- mand arrived-only this and nothing more.-Tucson Citizen.

To him who has held on, with 8 steadfast faith in an early i'm provement in the material pros perlty of all things pertaining to live stock in Arizona, the present condition of affairs promises most gratifying realization of sanguine hopes. The drouth which developed early in the spring, to continue until late Tn the summer, occasioned in the minds of all se- rious forebodings as to what the result would be if the herds of the Territory were forced to enter the winter months on the poor grazing caused by a failure of the usual rains. This feeling of in security, coupled with the low prices current in the cattle market, resulted in almost universal dis couragement, and a sharp depre citation in the prices of all classes of stock on the ranges of the Ter ritory resulted. During the last month radical change has taken place. The entire Territory has been visited with some of the heaviest rains ever recorded since meteorological stations were es- tablished in Arizona-a period of nearly twenty years-while the improvement in grazing which has resulted has been so remark able as to cause general comment. Indeed, if the oldest inhabitants are to be taken as authority, the grazing at present to be had ln Arizona Is the best the Territory has enjoyed since the American occupation. Fine grass makes fine hay, and with the abundance of fine hay the first frost will place on every range in Arizona, there can be no fear of any loss result ing during the winter, except it be from some causes unknown in the annals of the Territory. With such an outlook values are rapidly picking up, and where multitudes q few months ago were wearing themselves out hunting for pur- chasers, it is now hard to find | sellers.-Hoof and Hora.

Some idea of the economical administration of the Territorial Prison may be gained from the knowledge that under the present Board of Commissioners the ex- penses of the institution were nearly three thousand dollars less the past quarter than the preced- ing once. Such efficient manage ment ought to be gratifying to the people of the Territory.

A Washington dispatch of the 4th inst. says: Commissioner Sparks, of the general land office, has received from the surveyor general of Arizona report of his action on the application made to his office for the preliminary sale of the old Peralta private land claim in that territory which en- braces about 4S,000,000 acres. The surveyor-general declines to enter tain the application for the reason that congress has withheld from his office the usual appropriation for investigation of private land claims. and an investigation would be necessary in this case. The application is denied. This claim was discussed at length by Commissioner Sparks in his an- nual report of 1885, and it is be- lieved by the commissioner to be fully established that it Is of fraudulent character.

The Yuma Sentinel says that Thomas Gates, superintendent of the Territorial Prison, some years ago, invested in some oil lands in California, and being unable to dispose of it held oD, although two years ago he offered it for less than 5000. Within the past few days he has had an offer of S15,000, which was promptly refused. It will take not less than S50,000 to purchase his interest, and as the real estate and oil interests are both booming in California, the prospects are that he will realize a much larger amount.

Delicate women had their hands tied with cords and were dragged from their homes, and other atrocious deeds committed. Afidavits Of cruelty practiced are being collected to be presented to congress.

A letter was received this morn ing by Mir. George Tichenor from a town in Canada, that had been fourteen years, nine months and four days en route. However in credible this may seem, it is never theless true. The letter bears date of January 3, 1873, and was delivered to MT. Tichenor October ', 1887. From Canada the letter first went to New York where Mir. Tichenor then resided. In the New York office it became mislaId and did not again come to light until the removal of the postoffice short time since. From New York Mir Tichenor removed to Brooklyn and from Brooklyn here where the letter eventually fol- lowed and found hlm.-Citizen.

As will be seen by our Solomon vile letter the Board of Super visors have ordered 5000 copies of the Resources of Graham County to be printed and distributed. This is as it should be. Our county has more to recommend itself in the way of mineral, agri- cultural and grazlng lands than any other section of Arizona, and it is time that the fact should be known outside of the county.

The St. Louis Republican crea- ted a sensation by recently print ing verbatim report of all the debates that occurred at the secret sessions of the Grand Army of the Republic Encampment. As some of the speeches were bitter in tone, and the entire discussion was decidedly inicy, it is likely that the report will create some thing of a sensation, not only among the G. A. R. people but among all persons in the country. The report in question made eleven columns.

The New York Fri bune for its lowest S29,654, and for its highest S65,654, and these papers, it is stated, are never at a loss for advertisements to fill their columns.
